Abbott's second and final collection. ***Near fine in mustard-yellow cloth-covered boards with a paper label to the spine.

Spine clean but slightly browned. ***200 mm x140 mm. 66 pages. ***'Harold Henry Abbott (20 Jun 1891 - 4 Jan 1976) was an English schoolmaster, for the last fifteen years of his career headmaster of grammar schools, who published poetry as H. H. Abbott. His two volumes of 'Georgian'-type verse appeared in the 1920s and celebrated the lives of Essex rural folk and the Essex countryside, which he knew intimately. His poems have since fallen into relative obscurity. Abbott was one of the poets launched by Harold Monro and his publishing house The Poetry Bookshop, London. Ten poems in his first collection, "Black & White" (Poetry Bookshop, 1922), had previously appeared in Monro's periodical The Chapbook, and one, the title-poem, in a 1920 Harrap anthology. "Black & White" was well enough received for Chatto & Windus to accept his second collection, "An Essex Harvest", and other poems (1925). Some of these poems had appeared in the New Statesman (1922-25) and in a second Harrap anthology. His most typical pieces record the work and lives of Essex farming people, with some now unusual countryman's terms, or range descriptively "over the acres of our Essex land". There is much close observation of English nature and local topographical detail ("town" and "market" are Chelmsford). There are also a few personal poems, and a small number in a more experimental style. Mostly conversational in tone, his poems are traditional in form and metre, ranging from "blank-verse bucolics" or rhyming couplets to shorter lyrics. His long discursive poem, 'An Essex Harvest', is a sort of English Georgics.' [Wiki] ***A beautifully preserved inter-war book of poetry, first published in 1925. Of interest to literary academics and collectors of English rural poetry, and in particular, poetry about the rural life in Essex. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8280
